And... half the time, Reed didn't know what he was going to do either. ;-)

Brantley in.. he's gonna pass. Burton in.. he (or someone) is gonna run it. Reed is the only one you dont know for sure what he's gonna do since he's the only one who can somewaht effectively do both. Thats the biggest problem with the offense... its way too predictable in my opinion. That and even when we are we are not executing very well.. not getting a push on the o-line, etc etc etc.. Ok ill shuddup now.

But something like that must be the icing on the cake of an already solid offense. If your offense sucks, that just makes it more confusing for your own players. I do, however, appreciate the fact that they tried something ...anything... to try to jump start the offense. We really had nothing to lose for trying. Still, it was a failure and needs to be abandoned. The only real value I see that came from the three quarterback system is that it let us identify Reed as a potential starting QB. Of the three, he seems to have the most promise for next year (though he needs to learn to make his own reads). BTW, did anyone else notice that Burton took the first snap against the school out west? Does that mean that Brantley has already lost his position as starter?

With those players and Tebow, we outslugged a lot of teams and piled up a lot of points. We didn't seem to have those type of threats this year, and that exposed the herky-jerky nature of this offense. Adding the multiple quarterbacks - in my mind - didn't seem to help, but only made the offense more awkward and created more penalties. What was the year that we lost to Washington in the Garbage Bowl? That's about how excited I am about this team. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
